This panel will address the role and responsibility of local government in helping create a more diverse and inclusive tech ecosystem. How can local policy facilitate inclusive change in the tech ecosystem? What resources exist for underrepresented founders, and what else is needed? How can government help to bridge any digital and education divide? And how are government agencies working on their own internal gaps in technology and inclusion?

Moderated by Melinda Briana Epler, Founder & CEO of Change Catalyst & Tech Inclusion
